Another trip with Dr Shen & Teresa after almost 1.5 years when we explored the birding sites near Kuala Lumpur. This trip, we covered the a lot more sites of various habitat to get more species.
The first morning, we had a great time admiring the herons and storks flying at close range, providing ample opportunities to shoot birds in flight and taking off from the trees. Some of the birds were busy carrying nesting materials. What caught our attention was a Water Monitor Lizard which came very close to us, like almost attempting to snatch the bag which we put on the ground.
